61st Annual Report 2012-13

Chairman’s Message

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to present to you the 61st Annual report for the year 2012-13.

The slowdown in Indian economy continued in 2012-13 with GDP growth at 5%, the lowest rate in last decade. All the three sectors viz. agriculture, industry and services recorded a lower growth rate compared to previous year. Inflation and high fiscal deficit in the current economic scenario are major concerns as oil prices impinge on both. Higher crude oil prices feed inflation directly if passed through to final consumer prices and if the pass through of prices to consumers is controlled, the subsidy adds to inflation indirectly through higher fiscal deficit.

International oil prices averaged above USD 100 per barrel during 2012-13. The higher oil prices coupled with only a partial pass through to consumer prices resulted in higher than budgeted subsidy outgo. Monetary tightening to contain inflation, slowdown in investment and a weak global economy has contributed to moderation in growth. The year also witnessed the highest ever production of tight oil (shale) in the US which reduced its dependency on West African crude therefore pressurizing Brent and diverting oil flows to Asia.

The rupee per US dollar fluctuated significantly, depreciating from ` 51 per dollar at the end of March 2012 to touch a low of ` 57 per dollar in June 2012 and fluctuating between ` 53-55 per dollar during October 2012 to March 2013. Depreciating rupee continues to be a growing concern.

Consumption of petroleum products in India increased by about 5% to reach 155 MMT during 2012-13. Diesel, the largest component of demand barrel, was the main driver of the growth, accounting for 60% of the incremental demand, followed by petcoke, petrol and LPG. Kerosene consumption has declined by about 3 MMT over the decade due to regulatory interventions. Furnace Oil consumption has also declined due to shift to natural gas. Petrol demand increased by about 5% despite the slowdown and periodic increase in prices indicating growing purchasing power of our country’s population. Demand for ATF declined reflecting the declining business activity, while Bitumen demand increased marginally.

The year that has gone by has been significant as HPCL completed 39 years since inception and entered into the 40th year in July’ 2013. During the year 2012-13, many historical milestones have been achieved in the downstream of Refining & Marketing and the emerging business of Natural Gas. During the year, HPCL has qualified for ‘Excellent’ rating in terms of the MoU signed with the Government of India for the year 2011-12, with an MoU score of 1.037 which is the best score amongst all the PSUs under MOP&NG.

HPCL continued the trend of achieving superior performance and during the year 2012-13, the gross sales increased by about 15% to reach ` 2,15,675 Crore. Profit after Tax was ` 905 Crore during the year, marginally lower than last year, mainly due to higher provision for tax. HPCL has improved the Fortune 500 ranking to 260 from 267 rank in the previous year.

During 2012-13, the refineries at Mumbai and Visakh achieved a combined refining throughput of 15.78 MMT with a capacity utilization of 107%.The Guru Gobind Singh Refinery of HPCL-Mittal Energy Limited (HMEL) at Bhatinda was dedicated to the nation on April 28, 2012 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. With the commissioning of Bhatinda Refinery, the self-sufficiency in refining capacity increased to 80% of Sales.

To cater to the growing demand for lube oil base stock, Lubes refinery achieved an annual production of 361.9 TMT of base oils comprising of 319.6 TMT of Gr I base oils and 42.3 TMT of Gr II base oils.

A significant initiative undertaken by your corporation during 2012-13 is the finalisation of a new 9 MMTPA Refinery-cum-Petrochemical complex in Rajasthan with HPCL as majority stake holder. The MoU with Govt. of Rajasthan (GoR) was signed on March 14, 2013 and the JV agreement with GoR has been signed on July 11, 2013. The proposed refinery will be designed with high complexity factor to process both the locally available Rajasthan crude and other crudes.This project will help inbridging the demand-supply imbalance for HPCL and also aid in diversifying into petrochemicals.

The total sale of products (including exports) of HPCL for 2012-13 was 30.32 MMT, achieving above industry growth of 1.4% and improving market share amongst Public Sector Oil companies to 20.19%. In Retail Sales, HPCL increased market share in combined petrol and diesel segments for the 9th consecutive year with an increase of 0.14% in the current year to reach 25.20%. In Direct Sales, HPCL achieved the milestone of 4 MMT of sales and recorded positive growth of 0.4% compared to negative growth of 2.3% by Industry mainly due to focus on Bitumen and consumer diesel product segments. Strengthening the bulk bitumen storage and logistics in key markets enabled 14% increase in bulk Bitumen sales. HPCL consolidated its position in the furnished lube market by increasing sales by 11%, although the lube demand remained under pressure due to slowing economy. HPCL maintained its No. 2 position in overall LPG Sales with 26.77 % share in the Indian market by focusing on initiatives for enhancing customer satisfaction, strengthening of infrastructure and increasing productivity.

Chairman’s Message

During 2012-13, HPCL’s distribution network of terminals and depots focused on enhanced levels of Safety, Security, Service and Efficiency in operations leveraging automation and improved operating processes. HPCL believes in safety in all spheres of its operations, environment protection and compliance with all applicable laws & requirements.

To ensure efficient and cost effective movement of products, HPCL has laid special emphasis on development of cross country product pipeline infrastructure. During 2012-13, HPCL achieved a record combined throughput of 14.06 MMT in pipeline operations. New pipeline projects planned include the 440 km Rewari-Kanpur Pipeline and 92 km Awa-Salawas Pipeline for transporting white oils and the 309 km Mangalore-Hassan-Bangalore-Mysore LPG Pipeline for which PNGRB authorization has been received and the projects are under implementation.

During 2012-13, HPCL commissioned state of the art facilities at various locations across India. These include additional product tankages at Loni Terminal (Pune), new Tank Truck gantries in Depots located at Raipur, Bhatinda, Ajmer and Jaipur and QC laboratory infrastructure at Bhatinda, Irumpanam (Kochi) and Loni Terminal (Pune). The greenfield projects at Bihta (Patna) and Tikrikalan (Delhi) have achieved mechanical completion.

To participate in the emerging business line of Natural gas and cater to the growing demand, HPCL has ventured into two joint ventures with other industry members for development of three cross country natural gas pipelines of Mallavaram-Bhilwara,Mehsana - Bhatinda and Bhatinda - Srinagar for which LOA has been received from PNGRB. In a major step to meet customer needs, HPCL has signed agreement with M/s. S P Ports Pvt. Ltd. for setting up an LNG Regasification Terminal at Chhara, Gujarat as a green-field portas a Joint Venture with 50% equity partnership.

As concerns about rising fossil fuel prices, energy security, and climate change increase, renewable energy can play a key role in producing local, clean, and inexhaustible energy to meet the nation’s growing demand. During 2012-13, wind power generation of 774 Lakh KWH was achieved from the first phase of 50.5 MW wind farm project set up in Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

The outlook for economic prospects in the near term looks uncertain. Global crude oil prices and rupee/dollar exchange rate remain cause of concern. Government of India has taken a number of measures for fiscal consolidation. One of the measures undertaken was to increase diesel price by ` 5 per litre in September 2012. In January 2013, OMCs were authorized to increase diesel prices in small increments at regular intervals till prices reach international parity. Number of subsidized LPG cylinders has been capped at nine. All these measures should improve the realizations from sales.

In the medium and long term, rising income and growing population will lead to increase in demand for oil. Steps by Government of India to fast track mega investment projects and permitting FDI in a number of areas etc. will increase economic growth and thereby result in demand for higher energy. This will call for increased investment in infrastructure by Oil companies. HPCL has drawn up plans for investments across the downstream value chain to meet the increasing Oil & Gas demand.

Over the years, HPCL and its subsidiaries have shouldered the responsibility to meet the nation’s fuel and energy through highly qualified, experienced and dedicated manpower and also forged a number of strategic alliances and Joint Venture companies.

HPCL is focused on employee engagement, capability building, leadership development and promotion of industrial harmony for meeting strategic objectives of the Corporation and enhancing the value to various stakeholders. Project Akshay – the unique leadership development initiative undertaken last year had a positive impact and helped in building a strong leadership pipeline through relevant interventions. The program was continued during 2012-13 also for guiding the employees towards the common visionof being a World Class Energy Company.

HPCL continuously endeavors to provide differentiated customer experience, operational excellence and sustainable and profitable operations. To prepare your corporation to face the challenges in the changing global scenario we have initiated steps for developing the long term plan for HPCL. We will continue to aggressively pursue initiatives for achieving growth and profitability and look forward to your continued support in this ongoing process.

Our employees, customers, business associates and shareholders have always been a source of strength and I thank them for their support. The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has guided and supported us in all our efforts. We look forward to their continued support in all our endeavors.

Thank you,

S. Roy Choudhury

Annexure-I

Particulars with respect to Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption and Foreign Exchange Earning/Outgo as per Companies (Disclosure of Particulars in the Report of Board of Directors) Rules, 1988.

ENERGY CONSERVATION & TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION

I) CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

a) Energy Conservation measures :

HPCL refineries are committed towards conservation of energy and minimization of losses. In this endeavour, the refineries have taken part in the benchmarking studies organized by CHT in collaboration with M/s Solomon Associates, USA. The outcome of this study brought into light, the refineries performance in comparison to other refineries worldwide bearing similar configuration. The potential areas for improvement were identified and several measures were developed to implement the same under long term and short term strategies. Implementation of some of these measures has made it possible to restrict fuel and loss for Mumbai and Visakh refineries to 7.5% and 7.6% respectively in the year 2012-13.

The energy conservation measures undertaken by both refineries during the year 2012-13 have resulted in a savings of 42,157 SRFT/year (standard refinery fuel tonnage per year). This translates to savings of ̀ 169 Crores/year approximately.

The major energy conservation measures undertaken during the year 2012-13 are as follows:

Mumbai Refinery :

1. In an effort to recover hydrocarbon losses, refinery has commissioned Propane gas recovery system from DWO recovery circuit by installing ejector system. The facility was commissioned during the year 2012-13.

2. Installation of condensate Preheater (CPH) coils in Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG-1 and HRSG-3) has resulted in fuel savings.

3. Reduction in Fuel gas (FG) and Fuel oil (FO) consumption by maximizing cat circulation rate at 90-100 m3/hour in Old FCCU resulted in fuel savings.

4. Improved the furnace efficiencies by replacing furnace bare tubes with studded tube bundle in convection section of solvent extraction unit.

5. Periodic safety valves surveys were carried out with ultrasonic leak detector throughout the year resulting in potential hydrocarbon loss reduction.

Visakh Refinery :

1. CDU-III Vacuum Furnace efficiency improvement was carried out, Vacuum Column random packing were replaced with structured packing resulting in reduced pressure drop, lower furnace COT and there by resulting in fuel savings and better yields.

2. Optimization of GTGs and shutting down of Frame–III GTGs resulted in reduced specific fuel consumption and there by brought about substantial fuel savings.

3. DEA solvent was replaced with MDEA solvent in ARU thereby reducing steam consumption in ARU reboiler due to lower amine flow rate.

4. Antifoulant injection was carried out at SR side of crude/SR preheat exchangers, thus enabling reduced fouling of exchangers and hence resulting in energy savings.

5. Periodic steam leak survey and steam trap survey was carried out for the entire Refinery by engaging external surveyor using ultrasonic detector and visual methods as a part of regular steam leak monitoring. Arresting of steam leaks was carried out.

Annexure to Directors’ Report

6. Online chemical cleaning of CDU’s & DHDS furnaces was carried out, which resulted in reduced stack temperatures and increased heater efficiencies. This has resulted in potential savings in fuel consumption.

Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight was observed both at Mumbai and Visakh refineries from15thJanuary to 31st January, 2013 to create awareness among the public for conservation of petroleum products.

b) Impact of above on energy conservation measures and consequent impact on cost of production of goods :

Mumbai Refinery :

The above energy conservation measures undertaken during the year 2012-13 have resulted in a savings of 21,986 SRFT/year (standard refinery fuel tonnage per year). This translates to savings of ` 85 Crores/year approximately.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND THE OIL SECTOR

The slowdown in the Indian economy persisted in 2012-13. The GDP growth in 2012-13 was 5% compared to 6.2% in 2011-12. Growth in agriculture was affected by less than normal rainfall in the early phase of the monsoon. The agriculture sector is estimated to grow at 1.9% in 2012-13 as against 3.6% in 2011-12. Industry registered a growth rate of only 2.1% in 2012-13. Manufacturing growth is estimated to be even lower at 1.0%.The services sector has been the mainstay of growth in the last decade, contributing to about 65% of the growth. The growth rate in the services sector declined to 7.1%in 2012-13 from 8.2% in 2011-12. Monetary tightening to contain inflation, slowdown in investment, and a weak global economy has contributed to moderation in growth.

International oil prices averaged above USD 100 per barrel during 2012-13. Higher oil prices coupled with only a partial pass through to consumer prices resulted in higher than budgeted subsidy outgo. The deterioration in the fiscal balances pushed the government to take fiscal consolidation measures. One of the measures undertaken was to increase diesel price by ` 5 per liter in September 2012. In January 2013, OMCs were authorized to increase diesel prices in small increments at regular intervals till prices reach international parity. Also, bulk diesel sales directly to consumers are to be made at non-subsidized market determined price. Number of subsidized LPG cylinders has been capped at nine. Rising fuel prices did add to fuel inflation. However, wholesale price index moderated in the second half of the 2012-13 on account of declining non-food manufacturing inflation.

Global economy continues to grow at a sluggish pace. As per IMF, world output growth in 2012 was 3.2% with advanced economies growing at mere 1.2% while growth rate for emerging economies was 5.1%. This weakness was reflected in declining exports by India. Non-oil and non-gold imports also declined due to weak domestic demand. However, higher oil imports offset the decline in non-oil imports. The net invisibles balance (exports of services and remittances) failed to cover the trade deficit completely. India’s current account deficit was 4.8% of GDP in the third quarter of 2012-13. However, net capital flows were able to finance the current account and there was even a marginal accretion to foreign exchange reserves in the third quarter. The rupee per US dollar fluctuated significantly, depreciating from ` 51 per dollar at the end March 2012 to touch a low of ` 57 per dollar in June 2012, appreciating between July 2012 and September 2012 to reach ` 51.62 per dollar in October 2012 and depreciating again to fluctuate betweenr 53-55 per dollar during October 2012 to March 2013.

Consumption of petroleum products increased to about 155 million tons in 2012-13 from 148 million tons in 2011-12, an increase of about 5%. Diesel, the largest component of demand barrel, was the main driver of the growth with an increase of 7% over previous year. Diesel accounted for 60% of the incremental demand in 2012-13. Petcoke consumption increased by 49%, accounting for 40% of the incremental demand in 2012-13. Naphtha and Petrol consumption increased by 9% and 5% respectively. Bitumen and LPG consumption increased marginally at 0.7% and 1.6% respectively. Consumption of ATF, FO/LSHS, LDO and SKO declined.

In the near term, recovery in advanced economies is likely to be slow and a number of uncertainties remain, though global economic prospects have improved. Thus, main impetus for growth in India has to be domestic demand. The Government of India has taken a number of steps to stem the slowdown such as setting up of Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) to fast track mega investment projects, a scheme for restructuring debts of the state discoms, and permitting FDI in a number of areas. Oil prices are expected to soften in near term as supply growth is expected to slightly exceed growth in demand. This would reduce pressure on India’s current account deficit and also reduce the subsidy/under-recovery burden on the government and OMCs.

REFINERIES

Operating Environment

IEA estimates global oil demand to have increased from 88.9 MBPD in 2011 to 89.8 MBPD in 2012. The growth was mainly from Asia Pacific with demand in Europe declining. Poor macroeconomic outlook, high oil prices and improvements in energy efficiency have limited demand.



35


Crude oil prices averaged above the key 100 $/bbl, required by Saudi Arabia to finance their public spending. However, this provided incentives for marginal cost producers to maximize their production of alternate crude supplies like Canadian Tar Sands.

Year 2012-13 also witnessed the highest ever production of tight oil (shale) in the US which reduced its dependency on West African crude. This contributed in pressurizing Brent and diverting oil flows to Asia.

On the supply side there were disruptions in oil production in South Sudan, Yemen, Syria, and the North Sea. The uncertain political situation in Libya & Syria, attacks on Oil facilities in Nigeria and the Iran sanctions increased the downside risk on supply. Iran being one of the major term contract suppliers, the sanctions on Iran and its after effects impacted the security of crude supply to HPCL. This was effectively managed by increased term upliftment from other suppliers and spot purchases.

As per IEA, gasoline, rather than middle distillates, led global demand growth last year. Middle distillate demand was affected by lower industrial activity worldwide whereas strong requirement by Saudi Arabia and China for gasoline supported demand. Keeping in mind the increased gasoline demand the strategy of maximization of naphtha conversion to gasoline was continued. World LPG and residual fuels demand in 2012-13 contracted while Jet/Kerosene demand remained at the same level as last year. Indian LPG demand grew at a slower pace due to changes in government policy, however domestic production continued to fall short of demand. Indian refineries were required to maximize LPG production to reduce import dependence and minimize shortfall. The residual fuel demand continued to fall year on year in India and refineries adapted by increasing Bitumen production.

Benchmark crudes Brent and Dubai, were trading at their highest level during the year in April’12. From the high of 119.52 $/bbl witnessed in April’12, Brent declined month on month to 94.84 $/bbl by June affecting refining margins and inventories. Crude oil prices fell during Q1 in part, due to concerns about falling oil demand with a sluggish global economy. The deepening euro zone crisis, slowdown in Chinese growth and rising global oil supplies due to increasing U.S. shale oil production added to the list of concerns. The volatility in prices has affected refinery margins in spite of inventory management across the value chain.

Product cracks mirrored crude with Naphtha differentials falling by 10.86 $/bbl during April to June on weak petrochemical demand and lower cracker runs. Gasoline was also not supported and fell by 7.34 $/bbl from April to June reflecting weak demand from Indonesia and Vietnam. Middle distillate cracks in Asia were relatively stable helped by strong demand from Australia, India and Sri Lanka. Fuel Oil cracks was the only bright spot at a strong (2.45) $/bbl level helped in part by refining maintenance in Europe and Russia limiting supplies.

The Reuters Singapore margin for a cracking refinery was pressured by the weakness in light distillates to settle at 6.67 $/bbl. However, only a few Indian refineries were able to post this margin due to the month on month fall in crude and product prices devaluing both finished goods and Intermediate Stock Differential (ISD). This was compounded by reduced margins in processing higher priced crude of previous month for sale at lower prices in the next month. Planned turnarounds during the quarter also impacted margins.

Brent strengthened significantly in Q2 supported by shutdowns in Norwegian fields, shrinking European refining capacity and steep product draws. Considering the improved operating environment and ensuing monsoon season, HPCL increased its procurement / processing of low sulphur and light crudes. This enabled HPCL to reduce fuel oil exports on back of lower bitumen demand during this period.

Q2 saw firmer petrochemicals margins and tight feedstock supply pulling up naphtha cracks while alternative feedstock LPG surprised, falling below crude in July & August. European gasoline cracks were capped due to weak demand in the US. However, Singapore gasoline market was supported by healthy demand during Ramzan and tight supplies due to refinery turnarounds. Gasoil crack spreads strengthened in Q2 led by strong demand in Europe due to refinery closures, import demand from Australia and outages in Asia. Fuel oil however weakened marginally due to subdued demand for bunkers and from Chinese tea pot refineries.

Reuters Singapore refining margins strengthened to a high of 9.12 $/bbl in Q2 due in part to the strong middle distillate cracks. On the back of improved cracks and inventory gains HPCL also experienced stronger margins. HPCL refineries undertook various margin improvement initiatives like upgrading naphtha to gasoline with PyGas thereby reducing naphtha export. Increased focus on sale of surplus naphtha to end users by way of term contracts assisted in improving margins.



36


Crude prices stabilized at 110.02 $/bbl in Q3 as persistent concerns about the economy and the looming US fiscal cliff kept a cap on prices. The downside was limited by geopolitical concerns and reduced exports from Iran.

Naphtha cracks continued to improve in Q3 due to support from petrochemical demand. Gasoline however weakened on the back of improved supplies and end of driving season in US. Gasoil cracks in Asia were also supported by an unusually cold winter. This was offset by fuel Oil crack spreads plunging to its lowest level for the year on higher inventories, reduced demand and increased supply from Middle East.

Q3 Singapore refining margins reflected the frail heavy ends market and settled at 6.47 $/bbl. However, month on month fall in crude prices for the HPCL’s basket again impacted inventories and realizations. The fall in crude prices was overshadowed by weakening product cracks resulting in lower margins for refineries. Traditionally lube refiners have benefited from higher margins than standalone fuel refiners. However, the weak world economy resulted in poor demand for lubricants and lower LOBS margins, thereby impacting Mumbai refinery’s margins.

Q4 saw crude oil futures prices scaling nine month highs in early February at 116.28 $/bbl. Expectations of a better economic outlook for China and the US, robust financial market activity and seasonal winter demand were drivers for the strong crude prices. 2012-13 concluded with steeply lower prices on back of weak global demand outlook and high crude oil inventories.

Naphtha, Gasoline and Middle Distillate cracks posted their best run during the year in Q4 on the back of heavy refinery maintenance and strong demand. However, cracks fell across all regions in March with Kerosene (SKO) affected the most, as seasonal winter demand for heating faded in the Northern Hemisphere. Fuel oil cracks firmed up mainly due to reduced fuel oil imports from Middle East, lower inventory and rise in Chinese import demand.

Supported by strong light and middle distillates, Singapore refining margins settled at 8.7 $/bbl. The month on month volatility in prices with crude falling 8 $/bbl in March’13 continued to pose a challenge to refineries overshadowing operating performance. Weak lube base oil prices on account of declining demand in OECD countries and reduced growth in Asia capped HPCL Mumbai refinery’s margins. However, HPCL refineries posted improved margins compared to previous quarters on account of improved yield and 100 % service factor of all units. Efforts were made to minimize bottoms by optimizing crude selection and maximizing higher margin bottoms like bitumen.

Crude has been averaging above 110 $/bbl for the past three years, as compared to the 75 $/bbl levels seen in the earlier period. This has resulted in higher fuel costs for refineries solely on account of higher feed costs. Product crack spreads not keeping pace with crude has resulted in a scenario of reduced margins for refineries.

Physical Performance

HPCL imported 12.02 MMT of crude oil in 2012-13 as compared to 12.54 MMT in 2011-12. Lower imports were mainly due to planned shutdown of crude distillation units in the year 2012-13. The Free on Board (FOB) cost of imported crude oil amounted to USD 9726 million (` 53165 Crore) in 2012-13 as compared to USD 10409 million (` 50941 Crore) in 2011-12.The average cost of crude oil imported in 2012-13 stood at USD 109.48 per barrel as compared to USD 112.85 per barrel in 2011-12.

The Brent Dubai spread in 2012-13 of 3 $/bbl favoured increase in sweet crude processing. HPCL refineries responded by increasing low sulphur crude processing to 34.5% for the year 2012-13 as against 31.7% in 2011-12, when Brent Dubai spread was 4.55 $/bbl. This has resulted in higher spot purchases of imported crude of 7% in 2012-13 vis a vis 3% in 2011-12.

HPCL uplifted 3.39 MMT of indigenous low sulphur crude oil (Mumbai High, Ravva and KGB). HPCL was allocated the entire production of Ravva Crude Oil of FY 12-13. The price of Ravva is linked to regional markers like Tapis and Minas crude which is disconnected from comparable markers on account of declining production. This has resulted in indigenous crude price being higher than imported crude and has impacted HPCL’s margin adversely. This has been taken up with the government for resolution.

The balance crude requirement of 12.02 MMT was mainly met through term imports and spot purchases. Total high sulphur crude oil procurement of 10.02 MMT was procured through term contracts from the Gulf region. Main suppliers included Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran and Kuwait. Total low sulphur crude oil procurement amounted to 2.00 MMT, which was sourced through term and spot purchases. Low sulphur crude from Mediterranean – Saharan Blend was processed for the first time in the Visakh refinery.



37


HPCL expanded it crude basket by adding 4 new crudes to its basket of 104 crudes, taking the number of crude oils that can be processed in our refineries to 108. New term contracts with MNCs/NOCs were also entered into, in order to source additional low sulphur crude. Term contract with SOCAR (National Oil Company (NOC) of Algeria for Azeri Light Crude oil) and Petronas (NOC of Malaysia, for purchase of selected Nigerian grades at a discount to declared Official Selling Price) were entered during the year.

HPCL’s refineries maximized crude processing in 2012-13, achieving a combined refining throughput of 15.78 MMT with a capacity utilization of 107%.

Mumbai Refinery has achieved crude throughput of 7.75 MMT as against installed capacity of 6.50 MMT with a capacity utilization of 119%. This was the highest ever crude throughput recorded surpassing the previous best of 7.51 MMT during 2011-12. Visakh Refinery achieved crude throughput of 8.03 MMT as against installed capacity of 8.30 MMT with a capacity utilization of 96% due to planned shutdown of larger capacity CDU unit.

In respect of distillates Mumbai refinery achieved 73.5% vs. target of 73.0%, and Visakh refinery has attained 72.6 % vs. target of 73.0%. The specific energy consumption (MBN) was also at MOU Excellent level for both the refineries with 82.6 vs. target of 86.0 for Mumbai Refinery, while Visakh refinery recorded its lowest ever specific energy consumption (MBN figures) during the year 2012-13 with 84.0 MBTU/Bbl/NRGFvs. target of 86.0. The energy conservation measures have made possible to restrict fuel and loss for Mumbai and Visakh refineries to 7.5% and 7.6% which is better than the target of 8.0% and 8.1% respectively. This high level of energy efficiency was made possible by consistent efforts of both the refineries by controlling and optimizing the fuel consumption at micro level for each and every process/equipment consuming energy.

The energy conservation measures undertaken by both refineries during the year 2012-13 have resulted in a savings of 42,157 SRFT/year (standard refinery fuel tonnage per year). This translates to savings of ` 165 Crore approximately

Mumbai and Visakh refineries also achieved highest ever annual production of LPG (817.6 TMT against previous best of 809.4 TMT), MS (2619 TMT against previous best of 2540 TMT) and bitumen (1042.5 TMT against the previous record of 946 TMT).

The Bureau of Indian Standards revised the bitumen quality norms from the hitherto ‘Penetration Grades’ to ‘Viscosity Grades’. Both Mumbai and Visakh refineries are producing this more stringent quality bitumen products viz. VG-10 and VG-30. The total bitumen production of HPCL refineries was 1043 TMT during the year surpassing the previous best of 946 TMT in the previous year.

Lubes refinery achieved an annual production of 361.9 TMT of base oils comprising of 319.6 TMT of Gr I base oils and 42.3 TMT of Gr II base oils. Going forward higher conversion of value added lubes to Gr II will yield better margins to lubes refinery.

The State of the Art Integrated Effluent Treatment Plant (IETP) at Mumbai refinery has reduced intake of fresh water from the municipal corporation by purifying and recycling 610 TKL treated water for refinery consumption thus contributing significantly to Natural Resource conservation. Also, in Visakh Refinery 714 TKL of water was purified through desalination RO Plant.

Initiatives

HPCL refineries are committed towards conservation of energy and minimization of losses.In this endeavour, the refineries have taken part in the benchmarking studies organized by CHT in collaboration with M/s Solomon Associates, USA. The outcome of this study brought to light, the refineries performance in comparison to other refineries worldwide bearing similar configuration. In order to address the gaps identified, short term measures were implemented which yielded in better energy efficiencies and long term strategies have been developed with a time bound action plan.

HPCL endeavoured to utilize the period of scheduled turnaround of units to implement yield improvement/ capacity augmentation initiatives. Mumbai Refinery installed and commissioned Cat Cooler facility in NFCCU in May 2012 which has now made it possible to process heavier feed, like lubes extract, VBO, DAO & old FCC resid thereby partially upgrading the bottom streams. Visakh Refinery has tapped the opportunity during CDU-III turnaround and carried out augmentation jobs resulting in throughput enhancement. Change of soaker drum internals in VBU has improved conversion in VBU by 2%. To improve distillate yield of cracked product, FCCU I GCU revamp was completed in September 2012 at VR. This has allowed reactor temperature to increase from 512 OC to 527OC resulting in better distillate yields.



38


To meet the requirements of the BS-IV quality diesel as laid down in the Auto Fuel Policy, both Mumbai and Visakh refineries are setting up Diesel Hydrotreater Units of 2.2 MMTPA each with associated facilities. The DHT projects at both the Refineries were mechanically completed and are expected to be commissioned in 2013.

HPCL refineries are continuing their efforts for capacity augmentation and improvement in flexibility of the refineries in handling different varieties of crude oil thereby aligning themselves towards HPCL’s overall objective for bridging the gap between refining capacity and the marketing demand of petroleum products.

Presently, HPCL Mumbai and Visakh refineries are capable of meeting about 52% of its total market sales volume. The balance demand is met through domestic purchases from stand-alone refineries and through imports. Commissioning of HMEL, Bathinda Refinery has increased HPCL’s overall self-sufficiency to 80% of market demand.

Keeping in view, the growing marketing demand in the coming years this gap would further widen and the demand is projected to be more than 42 MMTPA by the end of 2016-17. In order to bridge this deficit and to attain self-sufficiency of petroleum products, it is vital for the corporation to enhance its refining capacity in line with marketing demand. In that direction the existing refineries at Mumbai and Visakh are scheduled for augmentation to 10 MMTPA and 15 MMTPA respectively. Additionally, Corporation plans to set up a new 9 MMTPA grass root refinery-cum-petrochemical complex at Barmer District, Rajasthan. The proposed refinery will process the locally available Rajasthan crude as well as other crudes and the proposed complex will be the first such complex specifically designed to produce petrochemicals from the indigenous Rajasthan crude oil owing to its specific characteristic properties.

MARKETING

The Corporation continued to record robust physical sales growth during the financial year by implementing effective marketing strategies. The Corporation has registered a total Products sale of 30.32 MMT during FY 2012-13 vis-à-vis sales of 29.48 MMT during the preceding year 2011-12. It has indeed been a significant year for the Corporation, with the growth being 4.7% in Marketing Sales over the sales volume of previous year. This performance has enabled the Corporation to improve its market share amongst Public Sector Oil companies to 20.19% during the current year 2012-13 against 19.96% in 2011-12. Individual Marketing SBUs performance is covered in the sections below.

Retail

As in the past, Retail continues to occupy prime position for the country’s public sector oil marketing companies, accounting for a majority share of the physical sales volume for each of them. The Corporation’s strategy remains unchanged towards Retail marketing, with focus on continuous improvement in physical presence across geographical areas combined with enriching the customer experience. These are the key elements for ensuring out of the ordinary performance gains on a long term basis.

Several initiatives taken during the year 2012-13 for improvement in Retail performance have borne fruit. Retail has crossed 20 MMT mark in sales for the first time. The sustained focus on customers has led to continued market share gains in combined Petrol and Diesel for 9th consecutive year. The total Motor Fuel market share now stands at 25.20%, with increase of 0.14 % during FY 2012-13.

Individually, Petrol (Motor Spirit) sales has recorded a growth of 5.2 % in the year 2012-13 vis-à-vis preceding year, which compares favourably against PSU oil industry growth of 5.1% for the year. Similarly, Diesel (High Speed Diesel) also registered better than PSU oil industry growth at 9.9 % which is 0.8 % higher than PSU oil industry growth. These numbers are a result of continuous thrust in enlarging the Corporation’s Retail footprint across geographies in the country, by commissioning 1018 new Retail Outlets during the year. These include 318 outlets in rural areas which is a special focus area, for tapping the business volumes generated by the government’s efforts to ensure a trickledown effect of the GDP gains. The Corporation has crossed the 12000 retail outlets landmark, with the year end of Retail Outlet number standing at 12173.

The Corporation continued with the various productivity enhancement initiatives like Standard Operating Practices (SOP), Outlet Diagnostic Monitoring Tool (ODMT) which were rolled out in 4700 outlets and 4500 outlets respectively and had helped in improved MS and HSD sales performance during Financial Year 2012-13.

A key element in the Corporation’s strategy for enhancing the customer experience is product quality assurance, for which Retail Automation is an important part. Retail Automation system was installed at 265 Retail Outlets during the year which have motor fuel sales exceeding 100 KLPM, taking the total all India number of automated outlets to 1948 by the year end.

Retail has continued to leverage Information Technology for enhancing customer satisfaction levels. One more in this chain is the Retail Outlet Maintenance Management System (ROMMS), which is aweb based multiuser application for providing real time tracking and managing the maintenance of Dispensing Units (DUs) at Retail Outlets for ensuring maximisation of equipment uptime. This solution enables retail dealers to log their complaints and then track the action on them onreal time basis. It also helps to realize value from the comprehensive Annual Maintenance Contracts for these front end equipment entrusted to business associates.

Technology has been leveraged for the first time in the industry for rolling out a web based Pricing Tool Kit for calculation of RSP for all variants of Petrol and Diesel. This application provides instant communication to the retail dealers and field officers on price changes through SMS alerts and emails. Concurrently, all retail outlets have been mapped into Google Map, through which any customer can ascertain the price of Petrol and Diesel at each Retail outlet on the route in which he or she is travelling and stop to fuel at the most suitable outlet.

The focus on technology utilization for retail business pursuit has resulted in recognition by industry and trade forums. The Corporation was conferred with Loyalty Award under the category “Best use of Technology in a Loyalty Program”at the 6th Loyalty Summit for the 'DriveTrack Plus' programme. This programme is Retail’s flagship loyalty program with monthly spends of over ` 500 Crore with 3200 retail outlets participating in the same. Technology is the key in managing this massive programme, in which a unique online-offline architecture based on smartcards was deployed which enables users to transact even in the remotest of locations. DriveTrack Plus customers can manage their funds through electronic payments, and access from both internet and mobile platforms for ensuring that their user staff can fuel at the designated outlets in a trouble freeway.

The Retail business environment continues to be challenging with a shift to market driven pricing. Petrol price has become market driven during the year and is mostly net positive, even though there have been few situations of under recovery caused by crude price volatility combined with weakening of the Indian rupee vis-à-vis the US dollar. The calibrated approach taken for moving the Diesel price towards market driven price is likely to take some time to yield results, but is unavoidable considering the sensitivities involved which have to be carefully handled. The Corporation believes that the motor fuels business would become excellent in the foreseeable future, and focus is required for recording customer gains and retention, which will hold it in good stead when the changed environment attracts other players into the market.

• MOU 2012-13 with MOP&NG:

Direct Sales - Industrial & Consumer

I&C encountered one of the most challenging business environment during the year, consequent to the impact of slowing of the Indian economy and reduced industrial fuels demand. This adverse business environment was addressed by sharp focus on the segments which had a healthy demand. This strategy paid off for the Corporation with I&C recording best in industry growth amongst PSU oil companies for all major I&C products.

During the year 2012-13, I&C also was significantly impacted by the shift of users to other fuels or by their downsizing of their operations, consequent to the implementation of market aligned pricing for Diesel for majority of bulk consumers from 18th January 2013 onwards. As informed in preceding para, this drop in demand for Diesel in industries and consumer sector was addressed by focus on strong demand in other sectors e.g., infrastructure sector. In addition to robust bitumen demand resulting



40


from the government’s sustained thrust for road network expansion, the addition of large new capacities in the Power Sector (Thermal) had a beneficial impact by creating demand for liquid start up fuels, which the Corporation tapped effectively.

The Corporation has implemented a clear strategy for balancing the often conflicting requirements of ensuring evacuation of Refineries production in a depressed market while ensuring maximum financial realizations from the same. A cornerstone of this strategy was continuous customer engagement and enhancing their delight which had a salutary effect on I&C profit numbers. The Corporation continued to focus on governmental business opportunities for gaining from the relatively stable demand for petroleum products in this segment.

Strategic thinking described in preceding paras has resulted in I&C business line recording a sales volume of 4.02 MMT during the year, corresponding to YOY growth of 0.4%. The success of the strategy clearly comes out when seen in the context of the de-growth of 2.3% experienced by other marketing companies during the same period.

The Corporation has successfully tapped the strong demand for Bitumen from road infrastructure projects across the country, resulting in Bitumen sales surpassing the 1 Million MT landmark for the first time. The success in customer engagement strategy, which included strengthening the bulk bitumen storage and logistics in key markets has enabled the Corporation to increase the market share by a significant 2.6 % during the year.

Marine trade worldwide has come down, consequent to depressed demand for commodities especially in China. This has led to lower marine fuel demand in India and elsewhere. I&C addressed this adverse business environment by improving customer engagement and by strengthening logistical infrastructure at major port locations. Similarly, I&C volumes in Naphtha segment was tapped successfully, specially from gas based power plants which were called back by some state governments for meeting power shortfalls. This successful strategy had a beneficial spinoff in enabling the Corporation to restrict exports of these two products.

In addition to motor fuels upliftments from JV refinery at Bathinda (HMEL), the Corporation has commenced upliftment and marketing of Hexane from this refinery which also provides a locational advantage for the North India markets.

Direct Sales - Lubes

India retains its importance as the third largest lubes market in the world after US and China, constituting nearly 6% of the total world demand. According to market information, finished lubes market size in India is 2800 TMT approx. which includes Transformer Oils and White Oils. While the all India lube demand remained under pressure as a result of factors affecting GDP growth, the Corporation has recorded remarkable lubes sales during the year 2012-13, registering value added lube products sales of 305 TMT, placing the Corporation at the 2nd position amongst the Indian lubes marketers. This translates to a significant growth of 11% over the previous year, which contrasts with the low single digit growth numbers recorded by the industry.

The Corporation is placed at a commanding position in the Indian lube market, being the owner of India’s largest lube base oil refinery, designed to produce Group II and Group III base oils, in addition to continued production of Group I base oil from the legacy unit. Contrary to common perception, certain categories of products perform at their best when made from Group I base oils. These three base oils complement each other and form a complete bouquet from the lube manufacturer’s perspective.

An increasing number of individual customers and other buyers such as car and motorcycle mechanics prefer to buy their lube requirements from a shop in their vicinity, who can serve their brand of choice from the many fast moving lube brands stocked by them. The Corporation has created a 213 strong Distributors Network across all geographical areas, who feed the bazaar retail shops numbering over 38000. During the year 2012-13, the successful targeted marketing initiatives and promotional programmes has resulted in YOY growth for this segment which is significantly better than industry peers.

Alongside the lube bazaar market development detailed in preceding sections, constant engagement with HPCL Retail Outlet dealers (petrol/diesel stations) now numbering over 12000 remained the cornerstone in the Corporation’s lubes strategy. A series of initiatives and promotional programmes for retail dealers has paid off handsomely during the year, with this segment successfully overcoming the constantly reducing demand for 2 stroke two wheeler engine oils resulting from the shift by OEMs to 4 stroke engines.

Complementing the thrust in the individual Auto lube buyers segment, the Corporation has also strategically focused on enlarging the portfolio of Automotive OEMs genuine oils. HPCL cobranded lubes and associated OEM brands are now entrenched in a large number of OEM service establishments across India, approaching the 2000 number by the year end.

Traditionally, the Corporation enjoys pride of place amongst Indian lube marketers in the Institutional sales segment. Individual industrial buyers have very high expectations from lubes suppliers, for the quality and technological performance levels of the lubes products concerned, as well as the service quality from the marketer. The Corporation during the year 2012-13 has developed and implemented short term strategies for greater penetration into this large volume but highly competitive market. These have recorded significant success during the year, with the Corporation being placed at the top in industry ranking by growth in the institutional sales segment. The Corporation, as part of continuing strategy, further deepened its network of lube CFAs who cater to the MSME segment. This network has enlarged the Corporation’s access to more than 12000 MSMEs across the country, with satisfying outcomes.

The Corporation lubes marketing strategy lays emphasis on continuous innovations in lubes packaging, for keeping pace with customers’ expectations. These efforts have led to the Corporation receiving awards such as World Star Packaging Award and India Star Packaging Award for TamperGard Seal (industry first for oil drums tamper evident seals).

A keystone for the Corporation’s lubes marketing structure is its highly talented group of R&D professionals working on critical projects important to technologically advanced industrial sectors. More than 40 papers on the new developments have been accepted till date for publication / presentation in International Seminars/ Conferences and 7 patents filed. Collaborative projects with premier academic institutions including NIT, IISc, IIT, Agriculture Universities, Indian Institute of Petroleum are underway for mutually beneficial activities in their individual area of specialization.

The Corporation has always endeavored to continuously raise the bar on quality assurance for its products. During the year the Quality Control department implemented in-depth training programmes numbering 11 for our officers and staff as well as for customers’ representatives for their engaging in this activity in a well-informed manner. Laboratory instruments, skills and processes validation through accreditation agencies being a key to successful QC outcomes, three more labs at Tikrikalan, Kandla and Visakhapatnam White Oil Terminal (new) underwent the rigorous process and obtained NABL accreditation. For enlarging the physical presence of QC labs across markets, the Corporation has commissioned three new labs at Jabalpur, Rewari and Mughalsarai during the year serving MP, Haryana and UP markets. In addition to products, the Corporation has developed laboratory facilities for evaluating the quality of various packages in which Lubes is marketed, and the labs at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Silvassa engaged in this activity diligently during the year.



� Successfully set up 3 Nos. New Stationary QC Labs at Jabalpur, Mughalsarai and Rewari

� 2 CFR Engines were commissioned at Irumpanam (Kochi) and at Betkuchi (Guwahati).

� As part of R & D for sustained & continuous innovation, we have developed Hydraulic Gear, Transmission Oils for JCBs and CJ-4 engine oil.

� Achieved value added lubes sales of 305 TMT against MOU target of 250 TMT

LPG

LPG business remains one of the toughest business in the domestic downstream oil and gas sector on account of the under-recoveries on the sale of LPG to domestic households.

Nevertheless, this is a segment which is important to oil marketing companies considering the substantial market volumes involved, and the measures initiated by the government to progressively shift to disbursal of subsidy payouts to individual domestic customers on the ‘Aadhaar’ card platform. It is expected that this method will improve the delivery and remove anomalies present in the existing system. The new system may also permit oil marketing companies to carry on domestic LPG business in a profitable manner, in due course of time, as the full Indian market shifts to direct benefit transfer on the ‘Aadhaar’ card platform.

The Corporation is seized of the current situation as well as the potential turnaround in the financials of this business line. Accordingly, the Corporation has continued to stress on enhancing customer satisfaction levels by timely delivery of refill at the customer’s premises. The business line calls for highest levels of logistic skills, considering that a significant part of LPG is from foreign sources, movement of bulk LPG from refineries and ports of import to the bottling plants spread across the country and the last mile connectivity to the individual customer’s doorstep.

The established mastery of this complex trade has enabled the Corporation to post a commendable performance this year also. The Corporation has maintained its No. 2 position in overall LPG Sales with 26.77 % share in the Indian market. Market sales during 2012-13 were 4020 TMT as compared to sales of 3899 TMT the previous year, corresponding to a growth of 3.10 % over historical period. The LPG business driver being bottling capability, the bottling plant assets were utilized in a systematic manner during the year resulting in an all-time high bottling of 3847 TMT LPG during the year.

Domestic LPG marketing is similar to many other consumer products, calling for continuous enhancement of customer service quality and engagement. The Corporation has leveraged technology for addressing this aspect in an efficient manner. The LPG Transparency Portal, the ‘LPG Portal’ for monitoring last mile delivery of domestic LPG cylinders, the IVR /SMS based ‘HP Anytime’’ refill booking system are some of the initiatives in this category.

Constant stress on Health and Safety in LPG operations has resulted in the Corporation’s performance being acknowledged with Golden Peacock Award for Occupational Health and Safety for the Mangalore facility.

The HSE platform in the Corporation was strengthened during the year with IT enabled unique modules for Online HSE Index calculation, Online Accident Reporting Module to manage data on incidents involving LPG cylinders, and a well-designed training module for LPG Mechanics who are the key links in the LPG safety chain. The Corporation’s unrelenting emphasis on this critical aspect has resulted in one of the major LPG plants being awarded for ‘Excellence in Safety Management’ during the year.

LPG SBU continues to maintain its market leadership position in the highly competitive ND Bulk Segment, with 44 % market share. This part of the LPG business line is built upon customer service levels and strength of the relationships built with customers both institutional and commercial. Product price being market driven and many marketers wooing these customers, the Corporation’s performance in this segment is significant. As a continuing business strategy, 3 new dedicated Non-Domestic distributorships have been commissioned during the year for enhanced service quality for this discerning set of users.

The Corporation has leveraged the plans created as part of Vision 2015 strategy of MOP&NG for increased penetration of domestic LPG in the rural areas with commissioning of 243 new rural LPG dedicated distributorships for serving this segment. Combined with 54 new regular distributorships across India, the Corporation has finished the year with a sizeable total of 3194 LPG distributorships. With the enrolment of 32.17 lakh customers during the year, the Corporation now has a total of 3.95 Crore domestic LPG customers. The fine performance in customer service has led to acknowledgement by marketing professionals resulting in Superbrands 2012-14 trophy award to HP GAS, figuring in the list of India’s 86 strongest consumer brands.

As in other petroleum business lines, infrastructure is the key for sustained market growth and has remained a major action area for the Corporation. Augmentation of bottling capacity was carried out resulting in addition of 180 TMT LPG bottling capacity during the year.

Continuous innovation is the formula for continued success in any business including LPG. The in-house customization and deployment of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) in a bottling plant has received praise in the Industry, with the Corporation awarded the Golden Peacock Innovative Product/Service Award 2012 in the Oil & Gas Category. This innovative streak has also led to the PETROFED Innovator Award during the year.

Aviation

The Aviation fuel sector in India has registered a negative growth of 4.9 % in the Year 2012-13, in tandem with the lower GDP growth of the country. The adverse business environment impacted the performance of airline companies with one of the major players having to suspend its operations. The Sector has also witnessed relaxation in the policies by the government for independent import of ATF by airline companies and rethink on policy of FDI in this sector.

The Corporation recorded sales of 568 TMT during the year in this business line. The focus remains managing volume growth while protecting revenues in this volatile sector. HPCL commissioned new Aviation Service Facility at Juhu Airport to cater to the growing requirements of the non- scheduled Aviation segment. To build uniform and speedy operational parameters across all working locations, ASF management software was introduced at all Aviation Service facilities.

Natural Gas

During 2012-13, HPCL expanded CNG retailing network in Ahmedabad by adding 1 daughter booster station taking the total CNG network at Ahmedabad to one mother station and 20 daughter stations.

The Corporation is a late entrant into Natural gas sector in the country, having adopted a measured strategy while engaging in this high return but high risk sunrise segment. Gaining from the experience in pilot projects, the Corporation has ventured into joint ventures with many petroleum industry majors, for development of cross country natural gas pipelines. These include GSPL India Gasnet Limited (GIGL) and GSPL India Transco Limited (GITL) for laying, building and operating three gas pipelines (a) Mehsana - Bathinda Pipeline; (b) Bathinda-Srinagar Pipeline; and (c) Mallavaram – Bhilwara Pipeline. The target completion date of these projects is 2014.

To give impetus and build in the area of Natural Gas, HPCL Board has approved setting up a 5 MMTPA LNG regasification terminal on the West Coast at Charra, Gujarat as a Joint Venture Company (JVC) with the port developer M/s S.P. Ports Pvt. Ltd.

Operations & Distribution

The key to success in petroleum marketing worldwide is efficient and effective management of its logistics and distribution across markets. The Corporation has always laid stress on this critical aspect, with the distribution facility recording a thruput of 41.4 MMT during 2012-13, which includes substantial product quantity from sources other than own refineries.

These volumes were handled with enhanced levels of Safety, Security, Service and Efficiency in operations through automation and improved operating processes. Technology was leveraged for rollout of critical IS Tools customized for strengthening the safety systems of oil installations. These include e-Inspection Tool, Online Near Miss Reporting and Online MOC Tool (Management of Change).

The last link in the petrol and diesel distribution chain is the large fleet of Tank Trucks belonging to business associates. The Corporation has rolled out a unique CSR initiative titled `Fit for the Road’ campaign to provide basic health check-up of TT crew thereby covering a total of 7343 crew members across the country.

The Corporation was in the forefront for implementing safety enhancement measures identified by the M B Lal Committee at terminals / installations.Focus on this activity has led to 91 of the 113 committee recommendations being complied with by the year end, which positions the Corporation at the top of the PSU oil industry table.

Product management on the eastern seaboard was a focus area for the Corporation, for efficiently handling the large production quantity of Visakhapatnam refinery. A new state-of-the-art white oil terminal was commissioned at a green-field site during the year at Visakhapatnam, which has led to a spinoff benefit for Visakhapatnam refinery getting the valuable acreage occupied hitherto by the now decommissioned legacy Terminal facility.

Environmental and green initiatives remain a focus area for the Corporation in petroleum logistics. Continuous thrust on this front has enabled the Corporation to complete the Carbon Footprint Assessment according to GHG global protocols at 25 POL Installations across the country, followed by rollout of measures for carbon footprint reduction. A parallel initiative for addressing the depletion of groundwater resources was the initiative for Rain Water Harvesting at 22 POL locations.

VVSPL is the first pipeline in the world to achieve Level 8 in ISRS 8th edition Baseline assessment, the latest and toughest protocol of DNV. MDPL received OISD "1st Rank in Cross country pipeline - Product category" safety award for the 4th consecutive year. GGSRPEP received Petrofed Project Management (` 500 - ` 2000 crores) Company of the Year Award, 2011.

New pipeline projects on the anvil include the Rewari-Kanpur Pipeline (440 KM) and Awa– Salawas Pipeline (92 KM) for transporting white oils and the Mangalore –Hassan-Bangalore-Mysore LPG Pipeline (309 KM). PNGRB Authorization for these projects was issued in November 2012 and project completion is envisaged to be 36 months.

A critical part of petroleum logistics is the last mile connectivity which is undertaken from a large network of major Terminals and Inland Relay Depots spread across consumption centers. These locations play the crucial role of reaching the product to the customers and dealers by Tank Trucks loaded at them. The physical handling of product require commensurate infrastructure planned and developed for managing the large quantities involved, in a safe and secured manner, with supporting Information Technology enabled automation systems being a main driver. Quality Control being paramount, facilities both new and existing are strengthened with on-site fully equipped laboratories.

The Corporation has during the year, as part of long range products logistics perspective planning, undertaken projects and commissioned state of the art facilities at various locations across India. These include additional product tankages at Loni Terminal (Pune) and new Tank Truck gantries in Depots located at Raipur, Bathinda, Ajmer and Jaipur and QC laboratory infrastructure at Bathinda, Irumpanam (Kochi) and Loni Terminal (Pune). A project targeted at creating a high capacity greenfield facility in the state of Bihar achieved fruition with the mechanical completion of Bihta (Patna) project, with an aggregate storage capacity of 61.3 Million Litres. A similar capacity enhancement project achieved mechanical completion at Tikrikalan (Delhi) which is to receive inputs from HPCL JV refinery HMEL, Bathinda.

• Safety

HPCL is committed to provide a safe workplace to its employees and contractors and safety to the communities where it operates. In pursuit of the same, HPCL continues to work towards its aim of zero incidents. HSE Management systems across all business locations are vital, striving continually to strengthen HSE governance and compliance systems across all businesses and functions thru surveillance audits and benchmarking. While ensuring the HSE standards, major focus areas are targeted to include process safety and construction safety in upcoming projects across the corporation. All critical jobs undergo Job Safety Analysis to ensure safety of personnel and property. HPCL believes that continuous learning and upgrading of systems and processes are indispensable as we move ahead with our vision of achieving best-in-industry status with respect to safety systems and culture. HPCL recognises that personnel competency is a key area to ensure safe and efficient operations.

HPCL continued to build its culture of safety and improve its performance. Safety talks, trainings and case studies form a part of the daily activities of all the personnel directly or indirectly engaged in the refining process. Safety training programs conducted for contractors together in both the refineries were 235 during the year. Out of 284 OISD recommendations (given upto 2011), both the refineries have completed implementation of 278 OISD recommendations. Also, 1815 out of 1838 internal audit safety recommendations (given upto March 2011) have been completed.

• Environment

HPCL is committed to ensure environmentally sustainable and responsible operations to achieve highest standards of environmental excellence. HPCL major installations are certified with Environmental Management System based on ISO-14001 and all pollution abatement facilities e.g. effluent treatment plants at our refineries, air emission control and waste disposal facilities are maintained and operated in line with the industrial best practices. HPCL commissioned Flue Gas Desulpharisation projects at both refineries to reduce particulate matter and sulphur emission. Continuous ambient air quality monitoring at our refineries installed to ensure air quality. HPCL has established ‘Environmental Audit’ surveillance, to ensure continuous environmental performance improvement as well as environmental compliance. This concerted effort has provided opportunities to continuously improve for better environmental management.

• Other Initiatives

INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Information systems support all business processes of the Corporation. Business transactions are carried out in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. ERP system is connected to various other applications for transactions processing as well as Decision support.

Over the last few years, ERP system has been helping us close our accounts quickly and accurately. From management control perspective, ERP helps us by way of standardization of business processes. On-line & accurate information is available in the system which eases operational decision making. Cost of operations can be tracked easily in the system which helps the managers in controlling them.

In order to enhance the competencies of employees to manage Information systems, a comprehensive training plan was put in place. Over1600 man days of training have been provided during the year to the end users of the system covering the functional and operational areas of the system.

• Information Systems Center

Information Systems Center (ISC) at HITEC City, Hyderabad hosts all servers, as well as the development team. ISC is spread over 1.3 acres with state-of-art facilities that host 200+ servers that run various IT systems, Network & Operations Control Center, Security Operations Center, Development Center & Training center. ISC has been made secure with Infrastructure facilities that include Integrated Building Management System with access controls, Very Early smoke detection system, waterless fire systems and leak detection system.

• New Initiatives

A multitude of IT enabled solutions have been rolled out to increase effectiveness of business functionaries. ERP platform has made possible development of real time interfaces to the IT enabled systems of our various business partners. Various such new initiatives have been implemented and sustained efforts continue to bring in more of these to reality.

HPCL has further strengthened an application to plot all our retail outlets using GIS mapping technology. This has enabled us to set default route from supply location & accurately measure distance which in turn has resulted in improving accuracy of calculation of freight payments.

HPCL has introduced Distributor Consumer Management System (DCMS) for managing LPG distributors operations such as enrolling new consumers, providing new connections, recording & completing refill requirements, recording consumer termination etc. This software has been integrated with HPCL’s ERP system for data exchange.

Consequent to implementation of Government of India’s policy on monitoring the supply of subsidised LPG cylinders to consumers, HPCL has introduced Transparency Portal initiative for facilitating complete transparency and visibility in this regard. This Portal provides information on the number of HP Gas consumers with each Distributor, the number of subsidized as well as non-subsidized Domestic LPG cylinders availed by each HP Gas consumer and amount of Subsidy for LPG supplies. Consumers can view the delivery time performance, refill clearance and quarterly performance rating derived from the delivery time of distributor thus indicating best performing distributor. Facility has been provided to view the current waiting list number for new connections. This Portal can also be accessed from mobile phones.

LPG consumer subsidy has been planned to be transferred to consumer bank account using Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG Consumers (DBTL) scheme to the Aadhaar (UID) - Linked bank account of consumers who are Cash Transfer Compliant (CTC). Every Consumer has to link the Aadhaar Number to the LPG connection as well as link the Aadhaar number to his bank account. The bank seeding details are obtained from NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India) by oil companies and Aadhaar verification from UIDAI. After verification, Aadhaar, details are updated in DCMS Software and consumer becomes CTC compliant. Consumers are paid one time advance towards LPG subsidy and paid refill subsidy for



49


subsequent deliveries for eligible number of subsidised cylinders. DBTL Software module receives data from DCMS Module on regular basis and generates payments which are remitted to NPCI using a payment gateway. The payment is credited to consumer’s account and same is displayed on the Transparency Portal for benefit of the consumers. This payment module has been implemented at 18 districts on June 1, 2013.

HPCL has put in place a business intelligence system. This system extracts data from various transactions systems, processes the same and stores it in the data warehouse. This processed information is made available to the business for informed decision making.

In procurement function, e-procurement platform is being used for bringing in transparency. HPCL has developed & implemented e-procurement process wherein tender are floated on-line & the responses are obtained from the vendors also on-line using digital signatures. Tender opening & evaluation is being done in this application& orders are placed in ERP system. e-tenders through this system currently constitute close to 50% of total tender value.

B2B integration with Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) has been completed. Traditionally product exchange data was settled between two Oil PSUs through manual joint certificates. With OMCs being ERP capable, ERP has been leveraged to develop an efficient, accurate and on-line product exchange accounting and settlement mechanism.

Activity of processing indents received from the dealers and customers into the loads has been automated. An Indent Management System (IMS) has been implemented through which dealers & customers are being able to send indents by SMS. Facility for placing indents through web-based customer portal has also been made available to institutional customers. The system has enabled stage-wise tracking of indents. This has facilitated effective planning, monitoring and execution of indents ultimately leading to enhanced customer satisfaction.

HPCL has been able to achieve a high percentage (94.5%) of on-line fund transfer in the Sales process. The corporation has been receiving on-line fund transfers in the excess of ` 13000 Crore a month. Customers directly make e-payment thru their bank to the Corporation’s designated bank. The bank account is credited immediately and Cash Receipt (CR) is generated automatically thereupon and email sent to the customer advising details. At the end of the day the bank forwards a consolidated receipt to the Corporation which is used for control purposes and for carrying out reconciliation. The reconciliation process is also totally automated. This initiative has enabled in faster collection & hence better funds management.

E-banking initiative has been expanded to cover all payments to outside parties such as vendors& contractors and even our employees. We have tied up with multiple banks to offer the service to the various categories of payees. Payment information flows seamlessly as ERP server communicates directly with the bank servers without any manual intervention. The payment is effected by the bank through ECS, account transfer, EFT or by cheque. E-payment is helping the Corporation to bring about transparency in the payment process and also ensure timely payment to all vendors. Over 97 % of payment made to the vendors, other than that for crude purchasesisbeing made by electronic fund transfers.

A customer portal is being maintained which provides complete visibility to the direct customers, dealers & distributors on their transactions with the Corporation. Similarly a portal for the transporters enables them to access information pertaining to their transactions with the Corporation. A number of work flow based applications have been implemented for employee self-service so as to speed up the process of benefits administration. Capital budgeting process for Non-plan projects as well as revenue budgeting process has been captured in the system through workflow based application.

On HR front, 2 initiatives: Samavesh (meaning ‘Inclusion’: Personal, professional and cultural integration of new recruits) & Santushti (meaning ‘Complete satisfaction’: e-enabled final settlement process for separating employees) have been further strengthened. Both these are electronic work-flow processes & integrate with ERP as well as other on-line systems.

• Communication Infra-structure & Security

HPCL has implemented 802.1 X IEEE standard access controls, which has given us the capability to permit or deny network connectivity. After deployment of this mechanism every employee has to authenticate by putting his ADS username and password to get network access into HPCL network. 802.1X authentication has enabled us to secure our corporate network from unauthorized access.

OUTLOOK

In the near term, though global economic prospects have improved, a number of uncertainties remain. Thus, main impetus for growth has to be domestic demand. Current economic environment in the country is stagflationary- slowing growth and high inflation. The Government of India has taken a number of steps to stem the slowdown such as setting up CCI to fast track mega investment projects, a scheme for restructuring debts of the state discoms, and permitting FDI in a number of areas. Low growth will impact fuel demand though supply constraints in other energy sources could shift the demand to oil products.

Global crude oil prices are expected to soften in near term as supply growth is expected to slightly exceed growth in demand. This should reduce pressure on India’s current account and also reduce the subsidy/under-recovery burden on the government and OMCs. However, this may be counteracted by depreciation of the rupee due to a high current account deficit and volatile



58


capital flows. High and rising petroleum subsidies and deterioration in the fiscal position of the government has made fuel pricing reform crucial. However, impact of rising prices on growth in a slowing economy and on inflation means that process would be difficult.

29. During the current financial year 2012-13, ONGC and GAIL offered discount on prices of crude, PDS SKO and Domestic LPG purchased from them. Accordingly, the Corporation has accounted the discount as under:

(a) ` 1,587.82 Crores (2011-12: ` 1,868.12 Crores) discount received on purchase of PDS SKO and Domestic LPG from ONGC and GAIL has been adjusted against Purchases of Stock-in-Trade.

(b) ` 9,600.71 Crores (2011-12: ` 10,211.63 Crores) discount received on Crude Oil purchased from ONGC has been adjusted against purchase cost of Crude Oil.

30. In principle approval of Government of India for Budgetary Support amounting to ` 24,825.28 Crores (2011-12: ` 18,342.77 Crores), has been received and the same have been accounted under ‘Recovery under Subsidy Schemes’.

31. (a) Inter-Oil company transactions are reconciled on a continuous basis. However, year end balances are subject to confirmation/reconciliation.

(b) Customers’ accounts are reconciled on an ongoing basis and such reconciliation is not likely to have a material impact on the outstanding or classification of the accounts.

32. The Corporation has, as at the Balance Sheet date, entered into foreign exchange hedging contracts amounting to USD 246.90 Crores (2011-12 : USD 194.58 Crores) to hedge its foreign currency exposure towards loans/ export earnings. The Corporation normally does not hedge the foreign currency exposure in respect of payment for crude/product which is due for payment generally within 30 to 90 days. Exposures not hedged as of Balance Sheet date amounted to USD 103.70 Crores (2011-12: USD 138.38 Crores) towards purchase of Crude & Products and USD 242.60 Crores (2011-12: USD 219.97 Crores) in respect of loans taken. As at Balance Sheet date, Corporation has interest rate swap contracts for a value of USD 16 Crores (2011-12: JPY 1,050 Crores) to cover its floating interest rate exposure to fixed interest rate.

33. In accordance with the option as per AS – 11 (notified under the Company’s Accounting Standards Rules, 2006) exercised in the year 2008 – 09, the Corporation has adjusted the exchange differences arising on long term foreign currency monetary items to the cost of assets and depreciated over the balance life of the assets. The Corporation has continued to exercise the option during the year 2012-13 as per Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ Notification.

34. In accordance with the option exercised by the company as referred in note # 33, an amount of ` 4.66 Crores related to non-depreciable assets is remaining to be amortized over the balance period of loan in “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” as at March 31st, 2013.

35. Exchange differences arising from Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) taken for acquisition of fixed assets, to the extent that they were regarded as an adjustment to interest cost, were being treated as finance costs in line with the guidance issued by MCA during May 2009. During the year and pursuant to clarification dated 9th August 2012 by MCA, such exchange differences pertaining to all the Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) taken by the Corporation have now been treated as foreign exchange fluctuation and accordingly retrospectively adjusted to the carrying costs of the related assets.

Consequently, exchange difference of ` 95.56 Crores pertaining to previous years and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss Account has been written back and correspondingly credited in Finance Cost during the year. This change has resulted in increase in Profits for the year before tax (net of depreciation) for the year by ` 62.52 Crores.

36. Hitherto, premium on forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the liability from Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) were amortized over the period of the Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency). As per AS 16, Borrowing Costs include costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with borrowing of funds. Accordingly, during the current financial year, the premium on forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the liability towards from Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) have been considered as borrowing costs as per AS 16. Consequently, an amount of ` 64.82 Crore has been capitalized in the current financial year and disclosed as a part of Note # 28, “Prior Period Expenses / (Incomes)”. As a result, Profit for the year before Tax of the Corporation (net of depreciation) is higher by ` 52.43 Crores during the current financial year.

37. Ancillary costs incurred towards raising of Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) is being amortized over the tenure of the loan. Total amount of such ancillary costs remaining unamortized as on the Balance Sheet date is ` 118.89 Crores (2011-12 : ` 81.71 Crores).

38. (a) Considering the uncertainties attached to certain benefits under the Income Tax Act, the Corporation has been continuing to account for such tax benefits in the year they are allowed in the Appeals/Assessments. Further, where issues are strong on merits/covered by legal precedents, tax has not been provided for.

Accordingly, upon receipt of Appellate Orders covering the assessment periods 1991-92 to 1995-96, 1997-98, 2000-01 to 2002-03 & 2009-10, and Assessment Order for the assessment year 2010-11 during the year, the Corporation has reversed provision for tax/deferred tax/MAT Credit Entitlement amounting to ` 20.58 Crores (2011-12: ` 58.11 Crores) after duly considering MAT Credit, available for set off U/s 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

For other assessment years, a reversal of provision for tax/deferred tax /MAT credit Entitlement amounting to ` 40.04 Crores (2011-12: ` 37.67 Crore) is made after duly considering MAT Credit, available for set off U/s 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The above reversal of provision of ` 60.62 Crore (2011-12: ` 95.78 Crore) for earlier years is disclosed as “Provision for Tax for earlier years written back (net)” in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) The recognition of MAT Credit Entitlements of ` 406.85 Crore as at March 31, 2013 (` 268.77 Crore as at March 31, 2012) is on the basis of cogent evidence that the Corporation will be able to avail the credit during the period specified in Section 115JAA of the Act.

43. Operating Leases - Assets taken on lease primarily consist of leased land taken for the purpose of setting up retail outlets, depot operations and properties for use by the Corporation. These lease arrangements are normally renewed on expiry of the term. Amount of lease rental expenses recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss is given under Note # 23 - ‘Other expenses’.

44. Considering the Government policies and modalities of compensating the oil marketing companies towards under-recoveries, future cash flows have been worked out based on the desired margins for deciding on impairment of related Cash Generating Units. Since there is no indication of impairment of assets as at Balance Sheet date as per the assessment carried out, no impairment has been considered. In view of assumptions being technical, peculiar to the industry and Government policy, the auditors have relied on the same.

45. During the year 2012-13, an amount of ` 8.11 Crores (2011-12: ` 3.83 Crores) has been charged to revenue towards Enabling Assets on which the Corporation does not have a control.

47. The net worth of one of the subsidiary companies, HPCL Biofuels Ltd., which has started regular operations only during the year, is largely eroded. Based on the current price trends of Ethanol and in view of withdrawal of levy sugar mechanism and keeping in view the long term strategic nature of this investment, this diminution is not considered permanent in nature. Hence, no provision has been considered necessary for the value of the said investment and loans given (refer note # 14 and 46).

48. The Employee cost for the year 2012-13 includes ` 813 Crores towards implementation of Long Term Settlement of Non-management employees and Superannuation Benefits for all the employees finalized during the year, including for the past periods.

The Financial Statements are prepared under historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Accounting Standards referred to in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 issued by the Central Government and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. All income and expenditure having material bearing are recognised on accrual basis, except where otherwise stated. Necessary estimates and assumptions of income and expenditure are made during the reporting period and difference between the actual and the estimates are recognised in the period in which the results materialise.

In particular these CFS are prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard on “Consolidated Financial Statements” (AS-21), and “Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures” (AS-27) notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.

1.2 Principles of Consolidation

The CFS are prepared, as far as possible, using uniform significant accounting policies for the like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as HPCL’s separate Financial Statements.

The Financial Statements of HPCL and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, the intra group balance and intra group transactions and unrealised profits or losses resulting from intra group transactions are fully eliminated. The share of Minority Interest in the Subsidiaries has been disclosed separately in CFS.

The Financial Statements of Joint Ventures have been consolidated by applying proportionate consolidation method on a line-by-line basis on items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating proportionate share of intra group balance, intra group transactions and unrealized profits or losses.

Figures pertaining to the Subsidiary Companies/Joint Ventures have been reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to the parent company, HPCL’s Financial Statements.

For certain items, HPCL, its subsidiaries and Joint ventures have followed different accounting policies. However impact of the same is not material.

29. During the current financial year 2012-13, ONGC and GAIL offered discount on prices of crude, PDS SKO and Domestic LPG purchased from them. Accordingly, HPCL has accounted the discount as under :

(a). ` 1,587.82 Crores (2011-12 : ` 1,868.12 Crores) discount received on purchase of PDS SKO and Domestic LPG from ONGC and GAIL has been adjusted against purchases of stock-in-trade.

(b). ` 9,600.71 Crores (2011-12 : ` 10,211.63 Crores) discount received on Crude Oil purchased from ONGC has been adjusted against purchase cost of Crude Oil.

30. In principle approval of Government of India for Budgetary Support amounting to ` 24,825.28 Crores (2011-12 : ` 18,342.77 Crores), has been received and the same has been accounted under “Recovery under subsidy schemes” under the head Revenue from operations.

31. In accordance with the option as per AS-11 (notified under the Company’s Accounting Standards Rules, 2006) exercised in the year 2008-09, HPCL has adjusted the exchange differences arising on long term foreign currency monetary items to the cost of assets and depreciated over the balance life of the assets. HPCL has continued to exercise the option during the year 2012-13 as per Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ Notification.

32. In accordance with the option exercised by HPCL as referred in note # 31, an amount of ` 4.65 Crores (gross of tax) related to non-depreciable assets is remaining to be amortized over the balance period of loan in Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account as at 31st March, 2013.

33. (a). HPCL

Exchange differences arising from Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) taken for acquisition of fixed assets, to the extent that they were regarded as an adjustment to interest cost, were being treated as finance costs in line with the guidance issued by MCA during May 2009. During the year and pursuant to clarification dated 9th August 2012 by MCA, such exchange differences pertaining to all the Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) taken by HPCL have now been treated as foreign exchange fluctuation and accordingly retrospectively adjusted to the carrying costs of the related assets. Consequently, exchange difference of ` 95.56 Crores pertaining to previous years and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss Account has been written back and correspondingly credited in Finance Cost during the year. This change has resulted in increase in Profits for the year before tax (net of depreciation) for the year by ` 62.52 Crores.

(b). HMEL (figures for joint ventures are reported at total amounts and not on proportionate basis)

As per the guidance issued by the Accounting Standard Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’), the exchange losses arising from long term foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they were regarded as an adjustment to interest cost, were treated as borrowing cost in terms of the Accounting Standard (AS)-16, “Borrowing Costs”. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) issued a clarification on 9th August, 2012 that w.e.f. 1st April 2011, companies which had adopted paragraph 46A of AS - 11, “The Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” should treat such exchange losses as foreign exchange fluctuation instead of borrowing costs. Since HMEL had adopted paragraph 46A of AS-11 in the previous year, exchange differences of ` 64.80 Crores which were treated as borrowing costs in the previous year and ̀ 136.60 Crores arising during the current year have been treated as exchange differences as per AS-11 and have been accordingly capitalised. Consequently, the depreciation charge for the current



128


year is higher by ` 19.10 Crores, the carrying value of fixed assets as at 31st March, 2013 is higher and debit balance in Statement of Profit and Loss are lower by ` 182.30 Crores.

Corresponding impact of the above in the Consolidated Financial Statements due to proportionate consolidation are, depreciation charge higher by ` 9.32 Crores, carrying value of fixed assets and profit for the year are higher by ` 89.00 Crores.

(c). MRPL (figures for joint ventures are reported at total amounts and not on proportionate basis)

Pursuant to Notification no GSR (914) E dated 29th December 2011 issued by MCA , the Company has opted to adjust exchange difference arising on reporting of long term foreign currency monetary items, in so far as, they relate to the acquisition of depreciable asets, against the cost of such assets and depreciate the said adjustment over the balance life of the assets from the financial year ending 31st March, 2012.

Pursuant to Notification dated 9th August 2012 issued by MCA, MRPL capitalised the exchange differences including for the period subsequent to the completion of construction of assets. Had this not been followed, the exchange differences amounting to ` 0.31 Crores relating to capitalized assets would have been credited to Statement of Profit and Loss and Fixed Assets would have been higher to that extent for the year ended 31st March, 2013.

Corresponding impact of the above in the Consolidated Financial Statements due to proportionate consolidation is Fixed Assets are lower by ` 0.05 Crores.

34. Hitherto, in case of HPCL, premium on forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the liability towards Long term Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) were amortized over the period of the External Commercial borrowing. As per AS 16, Borrowing Costs include costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with borrowing of funds. Accordingly, during the current financial year, the premium on forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the liability towards External Commercial borrowings have been considered as borrowing costs as per AS 16. Consequently, an amount of ` 64.82 Crores has been capitalized in the current financial year and disclosed as a part of note # 28, “Prior Period Expenses / (Incomes)”. As a result, profit for the year before tax (net of depreciation) is higher by ` 52.43 Crores during the current financial year.

35. In case of HPCL, ancillary costs incurred towards raising of Long term Syndicated Loans from Foreign Banks (repayable in foreign currency) is being amortized over the tenure of the loan. Total amount of such ancillary costs remaining unamortized as on the balance sheet date is ` 118.89 Crores (2011-12 : ` 81.71 Crores).

36. (a) Considering the uncertainties attached to certain benefits under the Income Tax Act, HPCL has been continuing to account for such tax benefits in the year they are allowed in the appeals/assessments. Further, where issues are strong on merits/covered by legal precedents, tax has not been provided for.

Accordingly, upon receipt of Appellate Orders covering the assessment periods 1991-92 to 1995-96, 1997-98, 2000-01 to 2002-03 & 2009-10, and Assessment Order for the assessment year 2010-11 during the year, HPCL has reversed provision for tax/deferred tax/MAT Credit Entitlement amounting to ` 20.58 Crores (2011-12: ` 58.11 Crores) after duly considering MAT Credit, available for set off u/s 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

For other assessment years, a reversal of provision for tax/deferred tax /MAT credit Entitlement amounting to ` 40.04 Crores (2011-12: ` 37.67 Crores) is made after duly considering MAT Credit, available for set off U/s 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The above reversal of provision of ̀ 60.62 Crores (2011-12: ` 95.78 Crores) for earlier years relating to HPCL is included in “Provision for Tax for earlier years written back (net)” in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b). The recognition of MAT Credit Entitlements of ` 406.85 Crores as at 31st March, 2013 of HPCL (` 268.77 Crores as at 31st March, 2012) is on the basis of cogent evidence that HPCL will be able to avail the credit during the period specified in section 115JAA of the Act.

37. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS - EXPENSES / (INCOME)

The exceptional items (income) for the year of ` 275.14 Crores include as under,

(a) HMEL

HMEL completed mechanical completion of all the units and obtained approvals from relevant statutory authorities and commenced refining of crude oil during the financial year ended 31st March 2012 and capitalised most of the units. However, during the current year based on technical opinions, HMEL realised that the plant was under test run due to high complexity involved in integrating petrochemical complex upto 30th December, 2012, as it was only then that the



129


plant started producing commercially feasible quality and quantities of finished goods. Consequently, net additional expenditure of ` 2,817.60 Crores (including net expenditure of ` 548.20 Crores for the period upto 31st March, 2012 under exceptional items) has been capitalised during the year. Further, depreciation charge of ` 82.50 Crores for the previous year has been netted with the charge during the current year.

The proportionate figure of exceptional item pertaining to above of ` 267.60 Crores is considered in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(b). MRPL

Pursuant to the order of Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) no TAMP/22/2012-NMPT dated 1st April, 2013 notified in Gazette of India dated 12th April, 2013 fixing the wharfage rates for the years 2002-03 to 2008-09, MRPL has recognised ` 44.45 Crores as receivable from NMPT and the same is considered as income under Exceptional items.

Notes:

1. The Group is engaged in the following business segments:

a) Downstream i.e. Refining, Marketing and Transportation of Petroleum Products.

b) Exploration and Production of Hydrocarbons.

Segments have been identified taking into account the nature of activities and the nature of risks and returns.

2. Segment Revenue comprises the following:

a) Turnover (Net of Excise Duties).

b) Subsidy from Government of India.

c) Net Claim/(surrender to) PPAC/GOI.

d) Other income (excluding interest income, dividend income and investment income).

3. There are no geographical segments.

4. Previous year’s figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary.

42. In respect of certain Subsidiaries and Joint Venture Companies, the following notes to accounts are disclosed.

(figures for joint ventures are reported at total amounts and not on proportionate basis)

(a) HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd. (HMEL)

HMEL received an approval dated 6th May, 2013 from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) to charge depreciation on crude oil pipelines at a rate of 3.17% p.a. (representing the assessed life of 30 years), which is lower than the minimum rate of depreciation provided under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. The said approval is effective from 10th August, 2011.

Had HMEL computed depreciation at the rates provided under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 the depreciation charge for the current year would have been higher by ` 169.50 Crores. Further, as the reduced rate of depreciation is effective from 10th August, 2011, the depreciation charge for the previous year has also been recomputed and the reduction in the depreciation charge of ` 24.40 Crores relating to the previous year has been adjusted against the current year’s depreciation charge.

(b) South Asia LPG Company Pvt. Ltd. (SALPG)

SALPG has recognized revenue from LPG Storage and warehouse services at ` 1,540 per MT and by-pass services at ` 200 per MT based on negotiations, with the three oil marketing companies Ms/. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (‘HPCL’), M/s. Indian Oil Corporation Limited (‘IOCL’) and M/s. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (‘BPCL’). Whilst, the marketing companies have in principle agreed for the invoicing of the amount, only HPCL has been paying the total amount invoiced and the other companies i.e. IOCL and BPCL have been making payments at 85% of the billing rates, since January 2008 and a confirmation of such payments from those marketing companies have been received by SALPG. The management of SALPG is confident of collecting the entire dues from IOCL and BPCL amounting to ` 42.34 Crores (2011-12: ` 31.72 Crores).

(c) Prize Petroleum Company Ltd. (PPCL)

PPCL has accumulated losses as at 31st March, 2013 amounted to ` 35.16 Crores. PPCL has been recognizing net deferred tax assets in the previous years. After PPCL was made a Wholly Owned Subsidiary in December, 2011 of HPCL, various actions are initiated in terms of acquisition of new assets and speeding up exploration activities. Hence the management of PPCL feels that PPCL should be able to generate profits in the coming years.

However, adopting a conservative accounting approach, the management of PPCL has decided not to recognize deferred tax assets (in excess of deferred tax liability) from the current financial year. The previous years’ recognized net deferred tax assets has not been charged off in this year, in view of various actions initiated with regards to acquisition of new assets and speeding up the exploration activities on the existing blocks.



134


43. Considering the Government policies and modalities of compensating the oil marketing companies towards under-recoveries, future cash flows have been worked out based on the desired margins for deciding on impairment of related Cash Generating Units. Since there is no indication of impairment of assets as at Balance Sheet date as per the assessment carried out, no impairment has been considered. In view of assumptions being technical, peculiar to the industry and Government policy, the auditors have relied on the same.

44. The Employee cost for the year 2012-13 includes ` 813 Crores towards implementation of Long Term Settlement of Non-management employees and Superannuation Benefits for all the employees of HPCL finalized during the year, including for the past periods.
